Managed to get this pic at Budleigh Salterton - I was some way away but zoomed into maximum 12x and hoped for the best - the result was even better than I thought re timing

Cracking pic Drac :-bd

I saw a buzzard flying round up near Retford the other day but couldn't get to my camera in time.

It was probably circling you FF, thought you'd had it. =)) =)) =))

Jelly.

It's not got long to wait the way I feel these days 8-x

=)) Fair play, I like a man that can take a joke. ^:)^

My latest addition

ohh nice guitar indeed Drac..

Sweet!

Lady Emerald sure looks after you Mate.

Nice Strat. Drac. I had one just like it. It felt so good without even playing a note. Which was just as well with me.

Yeah - I'm no expert on a 6 string but once you start playing it seems to encourage you to be a bit better!! - does that make sense?

Loads of reverb and bass then =)) =)) =))

Hey....................just like mine, but mine is a 1973!!! (bet yours is in better nick though........!

I have just been informed by the General manager of Berkeley Castle that the photograph (see below) I submitted has been selected for the 2011 Berkeley Calendar and I have an invitation to the Castle on August 26th when the overall winner will be announced

I took loads of pictures but only one entry [er person was accepted and so I decided to choose this one because it is well framed, with a central focus point (the balcony) and is probably a view few people would consider, and therefore, as I hope, unique!! I love the darkness to light contrast and thinks it works well - luckily so did someone else!!

As with many of my photos, it was not a standard photo but one which had me almost led on the floor

Nice one mate. :thumright:

Hope you win.

Good stuff Dracster, my little bro takes pics of critters...I'll mail you some over, sure you'll appreciate 'em.

Very well done m8, it is suprisingly hard to take a " good " photograph rather than a snap.

Hope you do well ^:)^

The Prizegiving was held at Berkeley Castle last night in The Great Hall with prizes given by Charles Berkeley of the Berkeley Family who still live in the castle. In conversation with him after the awards, he told me that the picture I took was showing the sitting room of his parents.

All 12 who were selected for the calendar were awarded an A2 Board picture of their page on the calendar (Mine happens to be May, the same month as my birthday), a family pass to the Castle, a £20 gift voucher for London Camera Exchange, a Winners certificate, a free calendar (which all proceeds go to Cotswold Care Hopsice) and all pictures were on display in the great hall before the awards.

Wine and nibbles were available and a very friendly atmosphere, of mainly "ordinary people", made it a very enjoyable evening.

The pic below, of the presentation, were taken by Emerald (and I am sure she won't mind me saying, they wouldn't win any competition!!!

Well done Draccers. :-bd %%-

Nice, pure nice !

I'd have to agree, i know a few lads that would happily grind down that on their boards and a few that would do it on their BMX's!!!
